F 205

Adequate , but 2 1/2 flights of stairs was a bite much.Hot tub too far away an more stairs. No hot water in hot tub shower area. Parking was a plus.

Nothing luxurious, but surprisingly adequate!

This unit is nothing luxurious - don't expect granite countertops. But the unit makes good use of space, it was sparkling clean, and the kitchen is quite well stocked with everything you need to cook. The showers have hot water and plenty of pressure. Beds are comfortable (especially after adding the supplied down comforter as a pillowtop for the pullout sofa). Hot tubs (across the parking lot) are nice, but indoors. The unit is located 3 miles up a road that is lined with other homes/condos. Oh - this could be a factor for some: we had to climb 3 sets of stairs to reach our unit.
We loved our experience with a1 Vacation Rentals. James returned a call before our visit, but even more impressively, he returned our call on a Saturday night upon our arrival (we couldn't find the firewood). There are not normal office hours on Saturday night, but James returned our call anyway. Finally, the mobile app for a1 Vacation Rental puts everything you need to know on your phone: check in and check out instructions, directions to office, directions to the unit, phone numbers, etc. Awesome app!

An amazingly efficient trip!

The unit we stayed at with a1 Vacation Rentals was exactly what we were looking for, plus well furnished, clean and convenient to our plans in Summit County. A1 Rentals always seem to do exactly what they promise and provide great value.

Not fancy, but gets the job done

The good:
Good views, nice layout, good price, good location (not far from 6-7 ski resorts)
The bad:
Not much sound insulation between the units, and there was a random buzzing noise coming from one of the neighbors pretty often. The heater still makes a popping noise in the wall between the bedrooms when it kicks on; pretty annoying at 3am. The water temperature when taking a shower has a bad tendency to go from hot to scalding in an instant for 1 second, with no warning.
Conclusion:
Most of our issues are not with the unit, but the building. I still think the place was a good deal for my group of 4. We were doing this trip on a budget and didn't need anything fancy.

Great view from the window

Three of us were staying in the 205-F Buffalo Ridge for a week. Cozy living, nice service when you call it, GREAT mountain veiw, just one little but annoying thing: snapping sound from the heater (heat shrinkage?). It was OK in day time 'cause we were out anyway, but at nights it was... REALLY annoying.

no breakfast for us

Group of skiers and a snowboarder

We loved the place, except for....
We loved the fireplace, hottub, having two bathrooms, two bedrooms. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room. And we had a great vacation in Dillon and silverthorne skiing. BUT the coffee pot was broke, ugh. Well we are so handy we boiled water and used a pot and poured the hot water through the filter and made coffee, a little time consuming. Then we were having toast on our last morning, got the toaster out, it didn't work either, so we had no toast. There were no matches or papers for the fireplace. And the dresser drawers were dirty. On the last night the people above us were having a party and we didn't sleep well.
I wrote a note to the a1vacation rentals when I dropped the keys off, they weren't there. And I never heard from them. If they had called me back, I probably would have left a better review, I feel these things can be easily fixed. The place itself is nice minus the broken appliances.
